The second phase plan or plans will further evaluate the six restoration projects originally selected in Restoration Plan #1 for engineering and design activities, to determine whether the projects should proceed to construction.

Shoreline Protection at Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve.

Queen Bess Island Restoration Project.

Rabbit Island Restoration Project.

We also outlined a phased restoration approach for these six restoration projects. As such, the Final Restoration Plan #1 requested funding only for the engineering and design phase of each of the six selected restoration projects. Now that sufficient information has been developed through engineering and design activities, the Trustees have determined that we will proceed with a second phase(s) of restoration planning for these projects.

We will give the public an opportunity to review and provide input on the proposed plan(s), including specific designs proposed for construction. After the public comment period ends, we will review, consider, and incorporate public comments, as appropriate, before releasing any final restoration plans.
